Virgin
What if Time stood still
Would the inner Man within me
Still embrace the inner (W)Oman?
I wonder why my hormones rape me off all prosperity
It’s virgin prostitution
A name meaning slur
When what’s inside me echoes
And rips my Soul, a-flurred.
I wonder why my sex echoes between
All knowingness I read
An echoes of nothingness
A shallow void which I bleed?
